Look Duncan, new sox! I finished knitting a pair of socks yesterday, and then I broke them in by wearing them to the meeting with the employment counselor, which is about 5km from my place. 7,500 steps. 3,750 steps per sock. Normally I don’t wear my handknit socks when I go out walking, because I’m [...] A clone would have come in handy last night. I could have gone to the Hartman Piano meeting at City Hall, and the clone could have gone to my creative writing class, both of which started at 7:00. But there was no clone and I had to choose. I went to the class, since there [...] Cathy Crowe is running for Member of Provincial Parliament in the Toronto Centre by-election, where the incumbent, George Smitherman, is stepping down to run for Mayor of Toronto. This was the first piece of political news in a long time to give my heart a hopeful little leap. Here’s what Naomi Klein says about her candidacy: [...] I recently had the privilege of purchasing the Astronaut Love Triangle’s very first piece of non-performance art! There’s a picture of me and it on their site. I heard through the grapevine that they might be donating a piece of art to Everybody’s Art Show & Auction, which will be taking place at Irene’s Pub on [...]
Sick socks About that sock. I couldn’t get all the stitches back on the needles in order to tink* the sock, and after what could only be described as a herculean effort, I gave up. Fortunately I’ve had some very kind offers of help, so the sock is in the sick sock bag until [...] I’m just taking a break from wrapping presents, which is my least favourite of the Christmas chores. Every year I tell myself that next year I’ll wrap them as I buy them. But then I forget again. Speaking of forgetting, I forgot where I put my son’s Christmas presents. I searched and searched and got [...] The Sock I tried. Really I did. And then I put it away, at least for awhile. I’m going to try again after Christmas. When things settle down. When I settle down. Meanwhile… I knit a baby hat for Chelsea from some silky Lion & Lamb I had in my stash. It was a very soothing knitting [...]
The sock, two days ago So. This morning I’m sitting on my couch listening to a podcast of This American Life, and knitting a sock. It’s a slipped stitch sock. I’m getting close to the toe; it’s just a few hours away from done. I decide to set aside my knitting for a moment [...] Thanks for putting up with my whining yesterday. I’m feeling a little better today. Just admitting it and writing it down seemed to help. And the comments were comforting too. Today I’m back to looking at the bright side, at least intermittently. Life might not be completely perfect, but I’ve got a lot of good stuff [...] When I was a kid I used to think guerillas were gorillas. I wondered what the big deal was with gorilla warfare. Why were the gorillas fighting, and why did people care so much? Why was it on the radio every day? And who was arming and training all these gorillas anyway? There were other [...] |
